typical Gell-Mann amnesia. I write a lot so I see this when I've used AI to generate writing.

If I ask it to generate something that I understand: "Wow this is the most surface level garbage anyone could create by reading one SEO-optimized article"

When it's about something I don't know anything about: "Wow it's impressive how far AI has come"

What I do find AI super useful for is finding stuff like metaphors.

"I want to find a metaphor between product-led vs. sales-led growth strategies for startups. Please give me a list of 10 i could use"

Those prompts are incredibly useful. I reckon there's some type of analogy with coding here.
